I live and I love and I give to the
day I burn, I'll wait my turn
for this I will sit in the classroom
until I learn.
You've got to learn to dig and be dug in return
Will this water quench my thirst
or will it make me drown?
Will these ropes secure me
or will they tie me down?
Will this fire keep me warm
or is it going to burn?
Hey teacher I want to learn.

-chorus-
I know that life is hard
if you ain't got lots of money or a credit card.
You know it's gonna end but when
it it gonna start?
Once you learn to dig you beat the hardest part.
